Pre ttc blood work/X-ray

Hi ladies, I'm Amy and new to the group. My dh and I will ttc sometime next year, as soon as I lose some weight and get healthy! I just got my blood work done yesterday, and a hip X-ray, to see if I may need a c-section. I had major hip surgery when I was small. My doctor thinks I can have one naturally. :) so what is everyone doing to get fit/healthy before ttc? So far I have lost 5 pounds, and am planning on around 30 total... Fingers crossed I can do it! Any tips would be helpful. I'm waiting on the lab results from my blood work. They only checked my cholesterol and thyroid. Hope all comes back good!

Good for you for doing the pre ttc checkup. I think it is really helpful to understand the process. Did your DR say you needed to loose the 30 before ttc or is that your number? The only reason I ask is because I had this number in my head before we ttc for number 1 and was determined to get to that weight. Well a friend of mine ended up asking me what was more important the number or the baby. So I got to a healthy place, and started to ttc. And now after 2 kids I am healthy and weight less than I did when I stated to ttc with number 1.

Good luck with TTC

Hi, that was my number, which will be a healthy weight for me. If I don't lose exactly that, it's ok, it's just my goal. I'm taking prenatal vitamins which have folic acid and fish oil, so unless there is something else I may need, I think I'm set supplement wise. :)

I would love to lose 50 but realistic about 30. We are planning on may/june. I read WTEat when your expecting and its helped me want to eat healthier knowing what the vit do. Its nice to know Im not alone. We both have a prepreg doc appointment in jan. i guess Ill go from there
